Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lamhe flopped hard in 1991 because Indian audiences weren't ready for a hero falling for his dead lover's daughter. It's now considered Yash Chopra's masterpiece.
Sridevi was reportedly uncomfortable with the age-gap romance and initially declined; Yash Chopra convinced her by emphasizing the mother-daughter dual role challenge.
